Where does one draw the line between customization and poor taste? Is it in the paint job, the wheels or the final package as a whole. The other thing is, how does one decide who has good taste and who doesn’t. I mean it’s totally subjective right? What you are about to see is the Forgiato “King Camaro” and to some it’ll be an outstanding achievement, while to others it will be an abomination. I’m curious to know what you guys think, so please chime in via the comments.

The Z/28 has always been the “go to” Camaro if you wanted to go fast around corners. It was originally introduced in 1967 as a performance package for the standard Camaro for those who wanted to go Trans Am racing. It came with a solid-lifter 302 V8, 4-speed transmission, power disc brakes and some big ‘ole stripes on the hood so as to set it apart from other models. With the rebirth of the Camaro in 2010, enthusiasts wanted to know one big question – will there be a new Z/28? The answer – YES! Jay Leno recently got his hands on one of the first production models and seems to be quite impressed. Check it out after the jump!

Classic cars and summer heat mix like oil and water. The cars overheat, boil fuel and vapor lock which causes most owners to simply keep them in the garage until the outside temperature drops. If however your names are Freiburger & Finnegan and you work for Hot Rod Magazine, well then, you throw caution to the wind and run them anyway. In this episode of Road Kill, the boys decide to turn a 6 hour trip into one that takes 12 hours by taking Freiburger’s HEMI powered 1970 Dodge Super Bee and his 1967 blown Chevy Camaro on a 1,500 mile ride from Los Angeles to Salt Lake City.

In light of Chevrolet releasing the new 2014 Camaro Z/28 at this weeks New York International Auto Show, I thought I’d post up a little video that pays homage to the Camaro’s of the past. Covering all five generations, the video is nicely shot and makes us understand why people have been falling in love with these cars for almost 50 years.

Getting in a car with a professional race car driver can be a harrowing experience if you’re not used to being thrown around in an automobile. What if, however, you were with a professional and didn’t know it – what then? Jeff Gordon and Pepsi Max recently teamed up and gave one used car salesman the ride of his life.

The Chevrolet Camaro, Ford Mustang and Dodge Challenger. Three legendary names that have been back in the automotive fold for quite some time now. They’re all classified as muscle / pony cars, but at days end they couldn’t be more different from each other. The real question though is, which one is right for you. Before we answer this you need to put aside your bias for your favorite brand and ask yourself one simple question – What am I going to use it for? At first the answer may seem simple, but I assure you, the more you think about the question, the more difficult your final decision will be.

The Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro, rivals from the first day they met. They both pack big power and high style, but over the last few years something strange has happened. You see these two pony cars have turned into handlers capable of competing with some of Europe’s best. But how do they compare with each other? Motor Trend recently grabbed a 2013 Mustang GT Track Pack and a 2013 Camaro 1LE to see who’s got the biggest track day bragging rights. Click through for the video.

By this point we’ve all seen videos of rock-crawlers, souped-up 4X4’s, and desert vehicles tromping around on good old Mother Nature. However sometimes Mother Nature decides to turn into a bitch and when that happens all bets are off – or are they? This is the BSF Recovery Team and their specialty is getting broken bad-asses out of the woods safely. Their equipment may not be high-tech or flashy, but when your techniques are tried and true then it doesn’t really matter. Check it out after the jump.

The Chevrolet Camaro always seems to get a mixed bag when it comes to reviews. Some testers like the car but hate the visibility. Others like the styling but hate the handling. Whatever your take on Chevrolet’s Camaro though one thing is for certain, everyone seems to dislike something about this car. That may be changing though, at least that was my take after watching Motor Trends latest video on the new 2013 Camaro 1LE. Personally, I was never a fan of the Camaro due to its lack luster handling, a sentiment that many bow-tie fans shared. It was always somewhat stale and sedated for a car packing 420 hp. Now it seems that the boys at Chevrolet have listened to their fans, because they’ve taken the stock Camaro SS, fitted it with larger brakes, wheels and tires, as well as a new dual-mode exhaust, and created a car die-hard track enthusiasts will lust after. Check it out after the jump.
